A I.ITTT.E STORY FROM TIIK GERMAN
There w.ih once a beautiful princess
who had n great fondness for almonds,
und ate them constantly, but bottling
would induce tier to marry, nod in order
to rid herself of her suitors, of whom
there were n groat number, idle invented
ttic following ndrice : "If your lordship
can succeed Iii getting ine to tako any
tiling from your hand before [ say che
word '1 remember.' then I am ready to
become your bride. But if, on the
contrary, you receive anything from *me
without thinking to speak these words,
then you must agree to have your hail
shaveu tuiirely oil your head, ami leave
the kingdom."
This, however, was an artful strata
gem, for according to the court custom,
no one dared to hand anything directly
to the princess, but 6rst to the court
lady, who then offered it to her. But
it, on the other hand, the priucesa
should desire to give or take anything,
who could refuse her '( So it wus use
less for her suitors to make the tr'al.
lor when th.iy seemed likely to be
successful, and had diverted tin? prin
cess so that she was about to take some
thing *from them, the court lady always
stepped betWeeu and spoiled the b'-si
laid plan.
When the princess wished to dispose
of one of ihciu, she would appear an
unarming and encouraging to him, that
he would be entirely fascinated, and
when he sat. nt In r feet, overcome with
joy, then she Would seize upon anything
near her, ns though by accident : "Take
this us a remembrance of mo," and
when he had it in his bands, before he
could tlruk or spoik the necessary
~ordp, tbjfro w-uld spring ont at hiui.
from it, p' rhaps a fro.:, or a hornet, or a
bat, und so startle him that ho would
forget the Wurde. Then, upon the spot, lie
?US shaven, and away wilh him. This
wt ut on lor aoiuo yuartf, and iu all the I
pi.h.Ccs of the other five kingdoms the j
princes tworo wigs. Thus it cuine to be
the custom from that time
Fiuaily it h ippened I hat a foreign
prince e.ime upon some peculiar bu-i
noss, und by accident saw the almond ,
princess, "lie thought her Very ben Uli- '
ful, und at once pciecivcdthe stratagem.
A ftiei.dly little grlly man had given |
him an up] io that once a year he was
privileged to smell, and then there came
? ti his mind a very wise idea, and he
had become much renowned on account
?af his deep wisdom. Now, it w.ih
i-xaev ly time for him to make u-e of Ilia
upplo. ?^o, with the scent iiom it came
this warimttg :
"If y'l-.ou wouldst wiii in tho game of
giving and taking, under no circtllil
Stances must thou either give or take
any tiling."
So he hid his hands in his belt ; und
wool with his marshal to the palace, and
asjvud to Ic allowed to eat his almond
'Ibo princess was secretIv much pleased
with I.im, iihd immediately handed him
aa almond, which his marshal took and
placid in Jiis mouth. The princess in
iiuircd what tin.- meant, and moreover,
why he constantly carried h s liaud? in
his girdle.
He replied that at his e tui the cus
tom was even more strongly m forced
than ut her?, und he dared i .it give or
take anything with his hands, at the
most, only wilh his bead and feet. Then
the princess laughed and n.iid :
"In this Case we will never be able t ?
have our little game together."
lie sighed ami answered :
"Not Unless you will be pleased to
take something I rum my boots."
"That can never happen !" exclaimed
the wlndo court.
"Why have yen come hither," asked
tho princess, angrily, "when you have
such stupid customs '("
"Because you a'c so betou iful," re
plied the prince. "And il 1 cannot win
you, 1 may ut least have the pleasure ol
seeing you."
"On the other hand, I haVC no simi
lar gratification," said she.
So the priuco remained at the palace
and it pleased her more and more but
whew the humor seized her she tried in
every manner to persuade him to take
Iiis bunds from his girdle and receive
something from her. She also enter
taincd him charmingly, at.d frequently
offered him flowers, bonbons, and trink
cts, and finally her bracolot, but not
once did ho forget and stretch nut his
bund to tukc them, for the pic.sure ul
his girdle reii.indod him in time. So
ho would nud to his uinrshul and ho re
ceived ihcin, saving, '-We rcuiemher."
Then the princess would become im
patient, and would exclaim "My ho00%
Icerchiof has Pa lien ! ran your lordship
pick it up for mo V Whereupon tho
prince would fasten his spur into it,
nnd wave it carelessly, while the prin
cess would have to bend and remove it
from his foot, angiily suying "I remem
ber."
Thus a year passed away, and the
princess said to herself:
"This cannot remain so. It must he
settled in one way or thejothor."
She said lo the prince :
"1 have onu of the finest gardens iu
the world. I will show your lordship
over it to-day."
The prin"" smelt of his apple, nnd as
they entered the garden he said :
?'It is very beautiful hero, and in
order that we may walk near each othrr
in peace and not be disturbed hy tho
desire to try our game, I heg you. my
lady, that for this ^one hour, you will
tuko upon you the custom of my court,
and let your hands also'be fustencd.
Thuh we will he safe from each other's
nrts, aud ih<.rQ will bo uothing to annoy
us."
Tho prinecss did not feel very safe
about this arrangement, but he bo.^g-d
so strongly that she could not refuse
him th.is small faVer. So tnej went
alone together, with their hands fasten
cd in their girdles. 'I he birds sung,
the sun shouc warmly and from the |
treos the jicd cherries hung so low that |
they brushed their cheeks as they passed.
The princess saw them aud exclaimed :
"What a pitv that your lordship is
not able to pick a few for me."'
"Necessity knows no law," said the
prince, and he broke one of the cher
ries with his teeth from n brauch, und
offered it to the princess from hh
mouth.
The princess bfltthl not do otherwise
than receive it from his mouth, aud so
her fnee wns brought clo?e fjvhis... So
when she had the cherry between her j
'tips, and a kiss from him besides, she
was not able to say at the iustaut,
"I remember."
I bei he cried, joyfully, "O >od m tu
ine. much loved one ?" und drew his |
li. n Is from his girdle, und embraced
her And they spent the rest of their
lives together in perfect pei-oand hap

A Chut with a Clergyman.
Mr II., a well known clergyman, says
Dio Lewis, came to consult nie about
his throat, and b gun by telling this
story :
"1 worked on a farm till I was twenty
two, when I was converted, and imiucdi
ately resolved to study for the ministry
We used oxen. a.id indulged in that
unearthly habit of yelling at them all
day long The neighbors who lived
lull two miles away dtehired that they
hetrd mc from morning till night. 1
remember that one old man in the
neighborhood said when he hoard that
I was studying l<ir the ministry:
'?Well, there is one tiling about that
chap ; he'll make 'em hear anywhere in
the country. When he once gets into
the pulpit, if he yells as loud as he docs
at them cattle, tln-y'll hear h in nil over
heaven and all through the t'other
place too.'
"And now," continued Mr.*II., "I
have becu pleaching seventeen years ;
and although I have had no attacks nf
sickness, have gradually 1 ist my health
ami strength, till preaching one sermon
a week completely exhausts me I don't

A Fiendish Woman
Mr. and Mrs. X. of Pittsburgh are
believed to have lived as happily togeth
er as man aud wife commonly dointhoir
social position. Some timo ago Mrs. X.,
with or without reason, began to fancy
that Nr. X. preferred Ida 1). to herself.
This ycung girl had, for a while, kept
house for the husband in the temporary
abseuse of the wife on a visit to rela
lives.
One day Ida received a message from
Mrs. X., requesting her to call at hor
house, as she (Mrs. X.) had a letter
from the country for her. In the after
noon Ida dressed herself in her best
clothes and went to Mrs. X's house,
where she was met at the door by the
woman who kissed hor, inquired pnrticu
larly about the state pf her health, and
pi ?eed her in the most comfortable chair
in the room, au armed rocking chair
Mrs. X. offered the girl refreshments,
which were declined, with a request for
a glass of water. This was at once
beo tight by the amiable hostess, who
herself took n drink.
The woman then went into an adjoin
ing room, from which she spoedily re
turned with a strong cord of rope ar
ranged in the form of a noose. Smiling
aud talking pleasantly all tho time, she
stepped behind her visitor, and, drop
ping the noose over her head and arms,
with a sudden jerk. she. soon bound the
y.ung girl helpless to the chair- Ida,s
feet were next tied to the chair.
? "Now," said the woman, "you Bhall
see how I nvenge my.elf," whereopou
from tho table drawer she tnck a pair of
shears, a large kuif* an 1 revolver, all" of
which i 01 lunieuts she spread upon the
table h. lore her victim by this trite
ready to faint with terror.
'I ii.' tormentor's next step was to cut
? >;] the gill's Ituir as close as possible to
the skin leaving only a single handful
on the top of the head for the purpose
as she explained, nf facilitatng the
subsequent operation of scalping. The
girl screamed and called for help as
loudly as she could, but the house stands
in a louely place, ami no deliverer ap
peared.
After cutting off the hair, Mrs. X.
brought n looking plnss that Ida might
sec the change produced in bet features.
As the girl begged for release, saying
that she was freeging, she was told' with
a plentiful application of mocking epi
thets, that she would be wann enough
before she got nway.
Mrs. X. then put the poker in the
stove, and while calmly Waiting for it to
become red hot, she told her victim what
she intended to do with it. "First, 1
will burn your eyes out," etc., eto, And
she really began to execute her threats,
but when she was trying to blind the
gill, the latter, by a supjr huutin effort,
succeeded in releasing one of Her hands
with which she seixed the glowing poker
and for a while arrested the monster iu
the pre pet ration of her crime. Tho in
terruption made it necessary to reheat
the piker; ami in the meantime the
unlooked-for return of her husband was
all that saved the girl from prolonged
torture and death at the hands of Mrs.
X.
A croupy youth in a neighboring
town, having strongly objected to taking
his medicine, was induced to make a
hearty meal of buckwheat cakes nnd
"maple i-yrup," but the latter proved to
be hive syui up of squlls. The boy said
he thought something ailod the molasses
the minute his father told him he could
cat all he wanted to."
The husband of Mrs Robert Ash er of
Springfield, 111., became addicted to tho
miserable habit of following her on the
street until she purchased a rawhide aud
dressed him down once or twice, when
his annoyance ccasod.

It scetils mrtustrotis that there should

introduction and sale in our markets of
diseased and poisoned meat, Butthcro
is no such wny, Within a fortnight
past, those best informed upon the sub

have been brought to New York with a
taint in their blood which has broken
out in a disgusting disease of the skin,
and have been sold and eaten, nob >dy
interfering to provent the sale. Evcu
this is not the worst' These sheop have
been hurried into the market premature
ly, lest they should dio upon the hands
of thrir owners. In consequence, a
number of the sheep have been ewes
heavy with young* The rosult of the
transportation of these in crowded cars,
and deprived of food for many days,
may only suficring from a loathsome j
disease, but utterly unfit to bo eaten by
reason of their condition, have been
bought by unscrupulous dealers and sold
to unsuspecting householders. And yet
if there is a power in the Board of health
to prevent the distribution of this pois
oned meat as a food for human beings
it has not been exorcised, and every
householder is at the mercy of the men
in whotu the lust of, gain outWaighs hu

gulating the sale of poison by the drachm
but uo effective laws, it seems restricting

A Brave. Brnkeniau
A train was snowed np on a Wiscon
sin railroad recently, and the passengers
began to suffer from hungor, no pro
visions being obtainable. Intelligence
of their condition having reached Cul.
mar, seven miles distant, a brakemai,
named James Wilson, taking thirty
pounds of brackets and cheese, set out
to walk to tllC train. The Milwaukee
l.irui't y W i.consot describes his walk
mid ita sequel as follows :
I The wind blow a gale, and. with tue

the fish. Ho sas then quietly towed
into Mason's Chreak, in Norkfolk county
aud after being grounded on the flats,
was despatched with axes.
Capt. R?ders cut tho bladder out aud
